    Woodsman reacted to BradfordD in Anybody using "Viewshed" in Google Earth to determine repeater coverage??   
    Is anyone using the "Viewshed" tool in Google Earth to graphically show a repeater's coverage map?   I know the tool is limited to a 6-ish mile radius - but IF something like this tool was available on the GMRS map - it would be fantastic!
    To use the tool on Google Earth, you first pin or "Placemark" the repeater location - then right-click for the Viewshed tool (you can also adjust the placemark above ground).  This shows the Line-Of-Sight all around that location...
    It works great - but the Viewshed radius is too limited for my uses.

    I don't mind hearing kids on the air. Maybe a few years down the road, they too will pick up the hobby.

    Long time lurker. Got my GMRS license last year. I use a B-Tech GMRS V-1. I also have some other cheaper Radioditty "give away" handhelds for non-radio friends. I just bought a Kenwood 880 v1, just need good antenna and vehicle mount for it.
     
    I actually got into GMRS from CB, which these two services are motivating me to get a ham ticket. Thanks for the forums (I kinda miss forums instead of reddit)
